Promised Land

You say you caught a glimpse Of a man with reverence And if you could ever meet Could you please report to me? And tell me, what did he say To change your day And keep the fear at bay If you did, you better learn to pray I'm sure I heard them say There'll come a time when all must pay And every penny that you spend You're gonna pay back in the end And tell me, was it worth the cost If all is lost and the world is robbed? The only sound is the echo of your sob And so the fire burned In the final days, the world refused to turn And all the oceans turned to sand Ain't nothing left of our promised land Got to learn to change our ways If you wanna live and breathe another day But what it is, you just can't believe We're comin' in out of the dark We're gonna reach high for the stars We're gonna take back what is ours With a kiss, you will betray And all you give, you take away And in our finest hour We recognized the taste is sour Tell me, was it worth the cost If all is lost and the world is robbed? The only sound is the echo of your sob And so the fire burned In the final days, the world refused to turn And all the oceans turned to sand Ain't nothing left of our promised land Got to learn to change our ways If we want to live and breathe another day But what it is, you just can't believe? We're comin' in out of the cold We're gonna buy before we get sold We're gonna make new what is old We're comin' in out of the dark We're gonna reach high for the stars We're gonna take back what is ours We're comin' in right out of the cold We're gonna buy before we get sold We're gonna make new what is old And free our soul
